Art the Clown is more popular than ever, and now fans can step into his bloody shoes. Terrifier: The ARTcade Game launches this November, letting players hack, slash, and slaughter their way through a chaotic 2D beat ’em up adventure. The game arrives as the silent killer faces his ultimate annoyance: the production of various movies depicting his murderous escapades. Players must take control of the killer and shut down the productions by any means necessary!
First revealed during the Indie Horror Showcase, a brand-new trailer introduced the game’s central theme. This was composed by none other than Cody Carpenter, son of legendary filmmaker and horror icon John Carpenter.
